Kenya violence: 'We waited, now we'll chop them to bits'

Jon Swain, Nakuru

THE tragedy of Kenya’s violence was etched on the face of James Kamau, a softly spoken 43-year-old biology teacher, as he steeled himself to search Nakuru city mortuary for his murdered brother-in-law this weekend.

“We are glimpsing an enormity of evil in Kenya larger than any of us imagined,” he said. “Look how they have destroyed our people.

Good thing we're considering electing a Luo for president. He'll no doubt be fair and disinterested in Kenya....and non interventionist....his biography makes it clear he doesn't like white people very much (i wonder if the cheering, glassy eyed whites I saw outside Brooklyn Tech today, holding up "OBAMA 2008" signs realize this), and he belongs to a black nationalist church (another glaring hypocrisy ignored by main stream media) so I don't doubt he'll look after his own at the expense of others.
